Let’s start digging in now!

Here are the 5 important elements to look at when it comes to choosing a best WordPress theme for Adsense websites.

1. Clean and Simple

A good WordPress theme for Adsense must be clean and have enough white space to attract readers’ attention to the Ads. The elements of the theme should be minimized. Do not try to display too many images. You should remember that images are the enemy against the Ads. The more you can minimize the distractions, the more likely you will get more clicks on the Ads.

When you purchase a theme for your Adsense websites, look for the keywords: clean, simple, minimal, minimalist etc.

The less fancy theme will make the Ads standout. You will get more clicks.

2. Optimized for high Click-through rate (CTR)

It’s important to display at least one Ads above the fold area. It means readers don’t have to scroll down to see the Ads. When they open your website, they should suddenly see it on their screen. The best positions to display Ads above the fold area are “before the header” or “inside the header” (align to the right of the logo) or “After the header”.

3. Optimized for SEO

Adsense works the best for visitors who come from the search engines. It means the theme that you are going to use for your Adsense websites should be optimized for search engines. The more you can get visitors from the search engines, the more you will get clicks, the more you will make money.

These SEO elements will help your Adsense websites discovered from the search engines. A new visitor more likely to click on Ads than a regular visitor.

4. Optimized for speed

Not only for Adsense, a good WordPress theme need to load fast. People have a lot of things to look at from their social media profiles. If you want to keep them stay, you need to deliver the contents and the Ads very fast.

If you keep them waiting because the entire page does not yet finish loading, they will leave your website immediately. There’s no chance they will look at the Ads and click.

5. Responsive

Most of the people these days use their mobile to access the social media and read the articles. It’s not an option anymore. It becomes mandatory to have a responsive website. It means the WordPress theme that you are going to choose should display all the contents, including Ads, properly on any device: desktop, mobile, and tablet.

To get the Ads working along with your responsive theme, you can choose Google Adsense responsive formats. Everything will work well across different devices.
